  • 1/3 c brown sugar

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add brown sugar, sesame seeds, chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, and garlic. Whisk everything until well incorporated.

Put the chicken breasts into the bowl with the sauce, then toss them until fully coated.

Transfer chicken breasts with the sauce into the crockpot.

Cover and seal the crockpot, then cook everything for about 4 to 6 hours on a low setting or until the chicken breasts are fork-tender.

Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs on top to garnish.

Serve the chicken right away over rice with the delicious sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again. Lessen the amount of broth if you want the dish to have less sauce. Try adding chili powder for the spicy version!
